Default 2K6 Cobra Style Wheels?

I've been thinking about going back to 18's and was wondering if anybody has these wheels or have a picture of them on an S197? I kind of like the way they look. Not sure if I want the chrome or the charcoal. The price is good too. I plan on getting the 18x8.5" and 18x10".

Why go back to 18"s? The 20"s look killer on your car now.

I love the current wheels I have but I'm kind of getting tired of the harsher ride they produce. I want to focus more on performance and comfort now.

I've only seem those wheels in 20's..they would look pretty sweet on your car but I like your current wheels.

I really like your current set up, but if you do decide to change, I'd go with the chrome. I'm not sure the charcoal would go well with black/white theme you having going on.....now, if you could get them in black, that'd be awesome!

How bout adjustable dampers instead of a complete wheel change? I have the D-Specs set on soft with Alcoa 20" S/S wheels and the ride quality is fine. Even on nasty MA roads.

I have D-Specs also but they still don't seem to do the job for me. I wonder if changing to better springs would help.

Anyway, the cobra style wheels from Lakeshore Wheel and Tire is not available because Lakeshore went out of business. It's an old link from what I hear. Their old website was bought at an auction by Tulip City Wheels. Tulip City doesn't carry the wheels. It's just as well...I saw a picture of the wheels on an S197 and they don't look as good as I thought they would.
